Rail (750Wh) New Bosch 750 What?hour battery

[Tomroy]

So decided to upgrade from the 21 Trek Rail 9 to the 22 Trek Rail 9.8 XT with 750 Bosch smart system. With the larger battery and only using tour mode I am struggling to get even the same mileage that i could get out of my old bike. Only plus so far is the motor seems a little quieter (less rattly) on the downs. I did not expect a huge improvement on mileage, but thought i would at least get 10 percent better running identical tires.

Same problem here, identical bike set up, identical 50km loop, identical modes and the 750wh bike only just makes it with 4% battery left. The 625wh bike will do it with 13-15% left.
I’m not a smart man but I would have thought that that the 750wh bike would do the loop more percentage left. My bikes going back to trek, I’m not wasting $12.5k on a bike with a bigger battery that doesn’t go as far as the 625wh bike.

I would do the same, but unfortunately I sold my Rail 9 before my new bike arrived. My wifes Focus Jam with 625wh Bosch is getting better range than my 750wh, it seems to just suck power even when riding bitumen.Its only barely getting better range than my Rise Hydro. Extremely disappointing.

There's quite a lot in here about it where it's been extensively discussed :

Cube 160tm 750w battery not impressed? What peoples thoughts on the 750w system?

Coming from a 2021 cube 160sl 625w ….. 1st ride on my local trails to say I’m disappointed with the battery is a understatement 🤦🏽‍♂️

Poor Battery Range Bosch 750

Good Evening, I’ve recently purchased A cube 140 TM 750kwh with the new Bosch smart system. I’m really happy with the bike but haven’t been happy with the range I’m getting! I put it to the test and did 9 mile ride with a mix of road, trails & some off road climbs, I was left with 71% from...

OK have completed 3 full charge cycles, will see if it gets better with time.

Thanks, didn’t know those threads were there

The new TOUR mode is probably TOUR+, whereas TOUR on your 2021 it could be EMTB Lite. I've found EMTB Lite to be better for battery life, as the assistance level doesn't ramp up as far as TOUR+.
